NEW YORK, July 6 — Tiger Woods skipped the physical grind of playing last month’s US Open because he did not want to risk his chances of playing in next week’s 150th Open Championship at St. Andrews.
“The plan was to play the US Open, but physically I was not able to do that,” he said. “There’s no way physically I could have done that. I had some issues with my leg and it would have put this tournament in jeopardy, and so there’s no reason to do that.” Woods, 46, has three wins at The Open among his 15 major championships, including victories at the Old Course at St. Andrews in Scotland in 2000 and 2005.
Since recovering from a single-car rollover accident near Los Angeles on Feb. 23, 2021, Woods has played in just two official tournaments. He placed 47th at the Masters in April.
